HOUSE FILE 29

BY  FISHER

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to maximum fur dealer license fees.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 481A.95, subsection 2, Code 2025, is amended by striking the subsection and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
   2.  Fees for a license issued under this section shall be no more than fifty dollars annually for a resident or a nonresident fur dealer.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill creates a maximum fur dealer license fee of $50, regardless of resident status. Under current administrative rules, a resident fur dealer license costs $264 annually and a nonresident fur dealer license costs $586.50 annually or $292.50 for one day and one location. Current law allows residents from another state to purchase a fur dealer license for the set fee unless that state has reciprocity with Iowa, in which case the nonresident shall pay the reciprocity fee amount that is less than the nonresident license fee but more than the Iowa resident license fee.
